    Gore's contribution to Global warming awareness

    I like what Gore is saying, it's good he is taking this issue seriously. It's just a shame it took so long. He has always made a relative amount of sense and presented himself well. He was a far better presidential candidate than Kerry. They didn't support gay marriage last time. I heard the...

    Wii

    a) You download them, and save them on the flash memory. b) No, $5-10 USD each per game, probably depending on which console the game was originally for.

    Wii

    You make a good point, I remember hearing the launch price as $399 then only ever seeing it at $329, so you're probably right. However, despite the change in economic circumstances, games are still double what they are in the U.S and the PS3 is set to launch at nearly double as well (at around a...

    Wii

    That should be interesting. Oh, and anyone hoping for it to cost less than 399 at launch, remember that the gamecube launched in the U.S for 199 and here for 399. So it makes more sense that if the U.S launch price is 250 for Wii it will be 399 at an absolute minimum here and could be more...

    It's out on gamecube the same day it's out on wii.

    Wii

    I've been waiting to pre-order it until the release date and price were announced. Hopefully the PAL release date will be announced soon. Nintendo said there will no more than four months between launching regions, but four months could mean we might not get it til mid-march. That's a real shame...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    The entire basis for an individual's worth is how much they contribute economically to the state through work and how many children they have? Hmm, maybe society could extend this concept to form some sort of Utopia. We could expand artificial insemination to be the primary technique used to...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    Yeah, a high birth rate is an indication of prosperity isn't it? The greatest example of course being Niger. The highest birth rate in the world and the lowest Human development index and lowest literacy rate in the world. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/ng-niger It's the same with all...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    Are you and bshoc having some sort of competition to see who can type the most incomprehensible, nonsensical and irrelevant shit possible? If so, you have taken the lead with these pearls of wisdom. Abortion has been more of a problem (or issue) in about the last 40 years. And yes I think...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    Yeah Kfunk you idiot, stop weaseling your way out of the question using legitamite and logical arguments. Idiot. Just because pro-death, anti-life individuals often don't consider an embryo/foetus a child yet, it doesn't mean they place no weight on it's existence whatsoever. Often the case is...

    Dutch unveil the toughest face in Europe with a ban on the burka

    Yeah, you're mostly right I guess. But people don't wear cartoon animal suits and masks all the time and refuse to show their face under any circumstances. So i guess it's different and that first thing I said was a lie.

    Dutch unveil the toughest face in Europe with a ban on the burka

    WOW. You would be pulling some crazy shit there. Imagine if everyone didn't think you were a muslim. You know, you might die. In other news, burkas are impractical for identification purposes if anything. There are alternatives (used by most muslim women). I don't really have a great problem...

    Cruelty towards animals - are we fair?

    I don't think you should kick a cat because there is no reason to inflict pain upon the cat. People get killed all the time and I don't see that as any good reason to kick them.

    Why do people hate religion?

    Yeah that's probably not going to make sense considering the whole bunch of posts since then. I just didn't want to concede any ground. Edit: And Not-That-Bright already made the point.

    Why do people hate religion?

    I just thought about what I just said, and my point was still relevant ("People blame god"). Even if you (robbie) were talking about people who hate religion generally, and not atheists, wouldn't a hatred for religion be usually based upon a non-belief in a specific god? If these religion haters...

    Why do people hate religion?

    Alright my mistake, I thought you were responding to the post above yours by cheesman ("why don't people hate atheism") I don't blame god for tragedies. I blame the absence of god for tragedies.

    Why do people hate religion?

    Murder is interpreted in so many ways by christians. It's crazy. I wish I was surrounded by all those tolerant christians who loved their neighbours, instead of wishing to shoot them because they are homosexual (no that was not an exaggeration)

    Why do people hate religion?

    Yeah, people are atheists because they blame god. The one which they believe doesn't exist. Fantastic logic there. People are going to laugh, ridicule and mock you because what you are saying is stupid. I might as well say "Jesus was a viking who enjoyed eating vampires whilst celebrating...

    Why do people hate religion?

    The first, personal reason why I hate it is because it has been forced upon me by family members with absurd and irrational reasons for believing what they believe. The complete disregard for other perspectives has made me angry. Secondly, as mentioned above I hate it because of the way...
